REGULATED INFORMATION
INSIDE INFORMATION

Nyxoah Has Signed a €37.5 Million Loan Facility Agreement with the European Investment Bank

Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium – July 3, 2024, 12:30pm CET / 6:30am ET – Nyxoah SA (Euronext Brussels/Nasdaq: NYXH) (“Nyxoah” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (“OSA”), today announced that it has signed a €37.5 million loan facility agreement with the European Investment Bank (“EIB”). The agreement is backed by the European Commission’s InvestEU program. Nyxoah plans to use the funding for research and development, and for scaling-up its manufacturing capacity to meet demand in Europe and the U.S.

The €37.5 million facility is divided into three tranches: €10 million for the first tranche (“Tranche A”), €13.75 million for the second tranche (“Tranche B”) and €13.75 million for the third tranche (“Tranche C”). Disbursement under the various tranches is subject to certain conditions. Tranche A carries an annual 5% cash and 5% capitalized interest rate, and features a five-year bullet repayment schedule. The various tranches do not contain revenue or liquidity covenants.

In connection with the loan facility agreement, and as a condition to drawdown thereunder, the Company also intends to enter into a “synthetic warrant agreement” with the EIB. Under the intended synthetic warrant agreement, in consideration for the facility, in connection with each tranche of the facility, the EIB will be granted “synthetic warrants” with a duration of 20 years. The number and strike price of the synthetic warrants will be calculated based on tranche specific formulas provided for in the synthetic warrant agreement. The synthetic warrants can be exercised as of the maturity date of the relevant tranche of the facility or, in exceptional situations, earlier. Such synthetic warrants will entitle the EIB to receive from the Company a cash consideration equal to the 20-day volume weighted average price of a share in the Company on the stock exchange, reduced by the applicable strike price per synthetic warrant, and multiplied by the number of synthetic warrants that the EIB exercises. In connection with Tranche A, it is expected that the EIB will be granted 468,384 synthetic warrants with a strike price of €8,11 that the EIB can exercise after the maturity of Tranche A (5 years) or, in exceptional situations, earlier.

Since certain provisions of the loan facility agreement and the synthetic warrant agreement are dependent on a change of control, those provisions will be submitted for approval to a shareholders’ meeting of the Company in accordance with article 7:151 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code.

EIB Vice-President Robert de Groot said: “Belgium stands at the forefront of innovation in the area of life sciences and med tech. As the EIB, we take pride in supporting this thriving industry and fostering growth. Nyxoah, with its groundbreaking approach, is making a valuable contribution. We are eager to see the company progressing, benefitting patients worldwide.”

Olivier Taelman, CEO of Nyxoah, commented: “We are excited and grateful for the support and confidence in our cutting-edge technology shown by the European Investment Bank. This loan follows our recent successful equity offering where we raised €48.5 million, providing us a combined access to over €80 million in growth capital. This will aid in the commercialization of Genio in Europe and in the U.S., if approved, while helping increase production capacity and sustain innovation.”

About Nyxoah
Nyxoah is a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

ہانگ کانگ، 03 جولائی2024/ زنہوا۔ ایشیا نیٹ/۔۔ ہانگ کانگ کی مادرِوطن میں واپسی کی 27 ویں سالگرہ کے موقع پر 29 جون کو ہانگ کانگ کے وکٹوریہ پارک میں ایک افتتاحی تقریب کا انعقاد کیا گیا ، جس میں ہانگ کانگ جشن ایسوسی ایشن کے زیر اہتمام جشن کی سرگرمیوں کا ایک سلسلہ شروع کیا گیا ۔

ہوانگڈی کے مقبرے کی ثقافت سے متعلق نمائش نے ہانگ کانگ کے شہریوں کی ایک بڑی تعداد کو اپنی جانب راغب کیا ہے، جو انہیں شمال مغربی چین کے شانسی صوبے کی ایک جھلک پیش کرتا ہے ، جہاں مقبرہ واقع ہے ، اور انہیں بہترین روایتی چینی ثقافت کی دلکشی کو محسوس کرنے کے قابل بناتا ہے ۔ ہوانگڈی مقبرہ ثقافتی پارک کی انتظامی کمیٹی اور ہوانگلنگ کاؤنٹی کی حکومت نے 30 جون کو ہانگ کانگ کے گرینڈ سینٹر میں ثقافتی پروموشن تقریب کا اہتمام کیا ۔

ہوانگڈی ، جسے زرد شہنشاہ کے نام سے بھی جانا جاتا ہے ، نے چینی قوم کی عظیم الشان تہذیب کی بنیاد رکھی اور اس کے ابتدائی اصول وضع کیے۔۔ انہیں چینی ثقافت کا بانی تصور کیا جاتا ہے ۔ “تاریخ کا عظیم ریکارڈ” کے مطابق، ہوانگڈی کی وفات کے بعد، انہیں قیاوشان پہاڑ میں دفن کیا گیا۔ ہوانگڈی کا مزار قیاوشان پہاڑ کی چوٹی پر واقع ہے جو صوبہ شانشی کے ضلع ہوانگلنگ میں ہے۔۔

ہوانگڈی کا مقبرہ چینی تہذیب کی ایک روحانی علامت ہے ، جس کا اندرون و بیرون ملک چینی احترام کرتے ہیں ۔ یہ جگہ دنیا بھر میں چینی مہاجرین کے لیے ایک مقدس مقام کی حیثیت رکھتی ہے، جہاں وہ اپنی جڑوں سے جڑنے اور اپنے آباواجداد کو خراج عقیدت پیش کرنے کے لیے آتے ہیں۔

ثقافتی نمائش 200 مربع میٹر سے زیادہ کے رقبے پر محیط ہے ۔ یہ نمائش ہوانگڈی کے موضوع اور اس کے مقبرے کے ارد گرد کی ثقافت پر مرکوز ہے ۔ یہ نمائش مختلف حصوں پر مشتمل ہے، جن میں تصاویر اور متن کے ساتھ موضوعاتی ڈسپلے، کتبے اور سنگی نقش و نگار کی نمائش، اور سیاہ مٹی کے برتنوں کے فن پاروں کی نمائش شامل ہیں۔

نمائش کا مقصد ہوانگڈی کی قابل ذکر کامیابیوں کو متعارف کرانا ، مختلف ادوار میں ان کے لیے وقف تاریخی رسومات اور تقریبات کی نمائش کرنا اور چینی تہذیب کی وراثت کی کہانی سنانا ہے ۔ مزید برآں ، یہ ہوانگڈی کے مقبرے سے متعلق ثقافتی سیاحت کو فروغ دینے کی کوشش کرتا ہے ۔

نمائش میں ، ہوانگڈی کے مقبرے کے بہت سے قیمتی ثقافتی عناصر، جیسے زوانیوان ہال کی نقلیں ، ہوانگڈی کا مجسمہ، خود ہوانگڈی کے ذریعہ لگایا گیا سائپرس درخت، اور مقبرے میں موجود نوشتہ جات، وکٹوریہ پارک میں نظر آتے ہیں اس نمائش کا اصل مرکز ہوانڈدی کی ثقافت کو وراثت دینے اور چینی روٹس کی ثقافت کو زندہ رکھنے پر ہے۔ یہ نمائش شرکا کوتجربہ فراہم کرتی ہے کہ وہ چینی ثقافت اور اپنے ثقافتی ورثے کا پتہ لگائیں۔

نمائشی ہال میں مختلف قسم کے انٹرایکٹو تجربات بھی پیش کیے گئے ہیں ، جس سے زائرین کو برکت حاصل کرنے ، خاندانی ناموں کی ابتداء کا پتہ لگانے ، ہوانگڈی کے لگائے ہوئے سائپرس کے درخت پر خواہش مند تختیاں لٹکانے ، سیاہی ربرنگ اور اسٹام جمع کرنے جیسی سرگرمیوں میں حصہ لینے کا موقع ملتا ہے ۔

ہوانگلنگ کاؤنٹی کے خطاطی کے فنکاروں اور غیر محسوس ثقافتی ورثے کے وارثوں کو سائٹ پر خطاطی لکھنے اور روایتی ہوانگلنگ کاغذ کاٹنے اور dough کے پھولوں کے فن پارے بنانے کے لیے مدعو کیا جاتا ہے ، جس سے ہانگ کانگ کے شہریوں کو ذاتی طور پر گہری روایتی ثقافت کا تجربہ کرنے اور ثقافتی رشتہ داری کے احساس کو فروغ دینے کا موقع ملتا ہے ۔

چین کو مختلف تناظر میں پیش کرنے کے لیے، اس سال کی جشن مہم میں چین کے مختلف صوبوں اور شہروں کے ساتھ ساتھ متعلقہ تنظیموں اور کاروباری اداروں کی شرکت کو نمایاں کیا گیا ہے، جو چین کی جدید کاری کے خوبصورت وژن کی ایک وسیع نمائش پیش کرے گی اور جشن منائے گی ۔ مادر وطن میں واپسی کی خوشی ۔ یہ نمائش 2 جولائی تک چار دن تک چلے گی ۔

نمائشوں، غیر محسوس ثقافتی ورثے کے انٹرایکٹو تجربات اور ثقافتی فروغ کے ذریعے، اس تقریب میں ہوانگڈی کے گہرے ثقافتی ورثے اور شانسی صوبے کی شاندار شبیہہ کی نمائش کی گئی، جس کا مقصد ہانگ کانگ اور شانسی کے درمیان ثقافتی تبادلے اور سیاحت کی شراکت داری کو بڑھانا اور دونوں مقامات کے درمیان تعاون اور مواصلات کے دائرہ کار کو مزید وسعت دینا ہے ۔

ای-ٹاؤن نے اے آئی بینچ مارکنگ ایپلی کیشن منظرناموں کے پہلے بیچ کا انتخاب کیا ہے ، جس میں طبی اور صحت کی دیکھ بھال، نقل و حمل اور سفر ، کار کاک پٹ ، ہیومنائڈ روبوٹ ، نیو ریٹیل ، سرکاری خدمات ، صنعتی ڈیزائن ، منشیات کی تحقیق و ترقی، توانائی کے تحفظ اور کاربن میں کمی، اور خبریں اور میڈیا جیسے دس شعبے شامل ہیں ۔ خاص طور پر، اے آئی پلس طبی اور صحت کی دیکھ بھال کے منظرناموں کا اطلاق طبی اور صحت کی دیکھ بھال کے لیے اے آئی تربیتی مراکز کی ترقی میں مدد کے لیے کیا جاتا ہے ۔ ای-ٹاؤن نے بیماریوں کی تشخیص اور علاج کے استعمال کو فروغ دینے کے لیے اعلی معیار کے ہیلتھ ڈیٹا زون بنانے کے لیے مستند اداروں کے ساتھ شراکت داری کی ہے ۔ ضلع بھر میں، صحت عامہ کے ادارے سمارٹ میڈیکل پائلٹ سائٹس کے طور پر قابل رسائی رہے ہیں تاکہ اسمارٹ ٹرائیج، معاون تشخیص اور علاج اور ڈیجیٹل ڈاکٹروں کے ارد گرد اسکریننگ کے معیار کے حل میں بڑے ماڈل انٹرپرائزز کی مدد کی جا سکے ۔

بیجنگ اکنامک – ٹیکنالوجیکل ڈویلپمنٹ ایریا مینجمنٹ کمیٹی کے انچارج نے بھرتی کا اعلان جاری کیا اور جاری کردہ سیشن میں عالمی کاروباری اداروں کو زیتون کی شاخ کی پیش کش کی کہ ہم اے آئی چپس ، بڑے بنیادی ماڈلز ، صنعتی ایپلی کیشنز اور ڈیٹا گورننس میں مہارت رکھنے والے اختراعی اداروں کا خیرمقدم کرتے ہیں تاکہ وہ بیجنگ ای-ٹاؤن کے اے آئی مظاہرے کی ایپلی کیشن کے منظرناموں کو تیار کرنے میں حصہ لیں ۔ امید ہے کہ دس معیاری ایپلی کیشن کے منظرناموں کے ذریعے ، متعدد اہم ، نقل پذیر اور پروموشنل ای-ٹاؤن حل پیش کیے جائیں گے تاکہ اے آئی شہر کی ترقی کو آگے بڑھایا جا سکے۔

بی اے آئی اے ایس آئی اور بی اے آئی این آئی اے پی کے آغاز نے مصنوعی ذہانت کی صنعت کو یکجا کرنے اور صنعت کے اہم منظرناموں کے اطلاق کو تیز کرنے کے لیے ایک بنیاد فراہم کی ہے ترقیاتی علاقے میں مصنوعی ذہانت (AI) کے اداروں اور باصلاحیت افراد کو مکمل مدد فراہم کی جائے گی، وینچر کیپیٹل فنڈز، صنعت کے فنڈز اور 10 بلین یوان کے خصوصی فنڈز قائم کیے جائیں گے، اور کاروباروں کے پورے ترقیاتی سائیکل کے دوران مکمل چین سرمایہ کاری پلیٹ فارم تعمیر کیا جائے گا۔

یزی ، شہر کی پہلی بڑی ماڈل سروس پلیٹ فارم برائے سرکاری امور، باضابطہ طور پر لانچ کر دیا گیا ہے۔ بیجنگ ای-ٹاؤن کی اس نئی نسل کے ڈیٹا انفراسٹرکچر نے “ایک پورٹل، تین مراکز، اور تین انجن” کی نئی ساخت کو اپنایا ہے، جس میں ملٹی ماڈل مینجمنٹ، نالج بیس آپریشن، ایجنٹ کنورجنس، ون-اسٹاپ سپروائزن، پلگ-ان کال، اور مقامی موافقت کی خصوصیات شامل ہیں۔ یزی نے ای-ٹاؤن کے محکموں کو ڈیجیٹل تبدیلی میں بڑی ماڈل ٹیکنالوجی کے اطلاق میں مدد فراہم کی ہے، جسے آٹھ ذیلی مناظر میں نافذ کیا گیا ہے۔

LONDON, July 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading international residence and citizenship advisory firm Henley & Partners, in partnership with Andan Foundation, a Swiss non-profit humanitarian organization, is pleased to announce the call for nominations for the 2024 Global Citizen Award.

Created ten years ago in 2014, the Global Citizen Award is a tribute that honors remarkable individuals working to advance any one of the global challenges affecting humanity today – challenges that transcend national boundaries and cannot be resolved by any one country acting alone. This year’s honor is particularly significant as it marks the 10th anniversary of the Global Citizen Award, celebrating a decade of recognizing and supporting global champions who make a profound impact on our world.

The 2024 laureate will be selected by a distinguished, independent committee and honored at the Global Citizen Award ceremony, the concluding gala evening event of the annual Henley & Partners Global Citizenship Conference which is taking place this year at Capella Singapore from 27–29 November 2024.

Henley & Partners Chairman and Founder of the Andan Foundation, Dr. Christian H. Kaelin, says the awardee’s work needs to demonstrate a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable social groups, particularly with a connection to migration-related issues. “The Global Citizen Award is open worldwide to those working in a field with a direct link to the issues they are looking to affect and excludes political figures, opinion leaders, and celebrities. The committee is looking for remarkable and inspirational individuals who demonstrate vision, courage, and innovation in driving global change, and whose actions and outlook contribute to a more just, peaceful, connected, and tolerant world.”

The selection process is confidential and is based on a majority decision of the Award Committee. The award itself consists of a bespoke sculptural medal designed by leading Italian artist Antonio Nocera, an award certificate signed by the Chairman of the Global Citizen Award Committee, and a monetary prize of USD 20,000, which goes towards supporting the awardee’s humanitarian efforts. In addition, Henley & Partners commits to working closely with the awardee for a period of one year, raising awareness of their work and supporting the selected project through the firm’s network of more than 55 offices worldwide.

Since its inception, the Global Citizen Award has honored many remarkable individuals. The first laureate was German entrepreneur Harald Höppner, who set up the refugee humanitarian aid project Sea-Watch. He was followed by Dr. Imtiaz Sooliman, Founder of the Gift of the Givers Foundation, Africa’s largest disaster relief organization, and Monique Morrow, Co-Founder of The Humanized Internet, a digital identity project that aims to bring hope to the estimated 1.1 billion individuals in the world who cannot prove their legal identity.

Diep Vuong, Co-Founder and President of the Pacific Links Foundation, was awarded for her work in Southeast Asia campaigning for the rights of those enslaved by human trafficking, while Prof. Dr. Padraig O’Malley received his Global Citizen Award in recognition of his work on conflict resolution and reconciliation in Northern Ireland, South Africa, and Iraq. Last year’s awardee Zannah Bukar Mustapha, the Founder of the Future Prowess Islamic Foundation, was recognized for the psychological, educational, spiritual and other developmental support provided to the children and widows affected by the insurgency in north-eastern Nigeria.

Commenting on the award’s 10-year history and significance, Dr. Kaelin says global citizenship ideals are a founding principle of Henley & Partners, and through its partnership with the Andan Foundation, the firm can provide support to those displaced by war, conflict and climate change. “All of our Global Citizen Award laureates have inspired us with their willingness to act in confronting a problem that many see as simply too vast to address. The issues that we face today transcend the family, the tribe, the village, and the nation. It’s more critical than ever that we do what we can to support those working to change the lives of vulnerable people around the world.”

Nominations close on Friday, 2 August 2024. For more information on how to submit your nomination, please contact Bushra Zaidan at  bushra.zaidan@andan.org
